Re: oil filter leak
the only time you can over tighten an oil filter is when you tighten that much you strip the threads then it goes loose.
you should always 'spin' and oil filter on. if there is any resistance till the filter gasket hits the mating face of the engine then you have x-threaded it. oil filters only need to be 'hand tight' then a half turn.
always lightly oil the gasket of a new filter.
always clean the mating face of the engine.
always 'spin' a filter on.
